SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent `1\T o. 701,733, dated June 3, 1902. Application filed July 16, 1901. Serial No. 68.542. (No model.)

.To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I,WILL S. JAMES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort -Vorth, in the county of Tarrant and State of Texas,

have invented a new and useful Combined prove the construction of baking-stoves andV steam-cookers and to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efiicient one, to which water may be readily supplied from the exterior without opening it.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustratedv in the accompanying drawings, and pointed .out in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a Vertical sectional view of a combined 'baking-stove and steam-cooker constructed'in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 5 5 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view illustrating the manner of Inounting the removable Water-receptacle on the elbow or pipe.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the draw- An elbow or pipe 16is connected with bottom pipes 17, which are located beneath the lower casing 18 and which are adapted to rest upon a stove or to be heated'by a suitable burner. The said elbow or pipe 16 has a cock or valve 10 for controlling the passage of wa- -ter through it, and it is provided in its upwardly-extending portionwith a packing or sleeve 11, having a central opening for the reception'of a nipple or spout 12 of a receptacle 13, adapted to contain water. The receptacle 13, which is preferably tapered, is supported by a hook 14, secured to its upper portion and engaging a loopor bracket 15 of the lower casing 18. The receptacle isdetachably supported to enable it to be'readily removed,and when the cock or valve 10 is open water is allowed to percolate through the elbow or pipe. The casing 18, which is provided'with a suitable door 19, has an inner shell 20, forming an oven and extending inward from the casing and united with the same adjacent to the door. The intervening space between'the outer casing and the inner shell is adapted to contain hot air, and the oven is designed for baking purposes. The bottom pipes, which are diagonally arranged, as illustrated in Fig.,3, may bedisposed in any other suitable manner, and they are connected withvertical pipes or tubes- 21, located at the corners of the casing and extending upward through openings'of the` top 22 thereof and adapted to supply steam to an upper steam-cooker 23, consisting of Va suitable casing provided with a door 24. and having suitable means for supporting the substances to be steamed. The steam passes up through the pipes 21 and lls the steamcooker,and the casin g thereof is provided with an exterior rib 25, arranged to rest upon an upper iiange 26 of the lower casing. The rib is located above the lower edges of the upper casing,thereby forming a depending flan ge which lits within the iange of the lower casing.

What is claimed is- 1. The combination of a lower casing having an inner shell forming an oven,upright pipes extending through the top of the casing, an upper casing mounted upon the lowercasing anddforming a steamer, an exterior pipe or tube connected with lthe said pipes, areceptacle having a nipple or spout fitting in the exterior pipe or tube, and means for controlling the flow of water into the said pipes, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a lower casing open at the bottom and provided at its top with openings, an inner shell forming an oven, upright pipes arranged in the spaces between the inner shell and the lower casing and extending through the openings of the top of the latter,bottom pipes connecting the upright pipes, an exterior pipe or tube extending into the casing and connected with the saidpipes, an upper steam-cooker consisting of a'casingopen at the bottom and mounted upon the said casing, an exterior receptacle designed to contain Water and supported by the lower casing and having a nipple or spout fitting in the exterior tube or pipe, and means for controlling the flow of water from the receptacle, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as Witnesses:
